Being realistic what should Celtic ask for Bernabei
The gossip is we want about £7m for him, his loan club International in Brazil claim that is too high. Celtic obviously do not have plans for the lad, so should we reduce price to say £5m and wish the lad all the best.
1.) 20 Dec 2024 22:06:43
All the noise seems to be around the fee. Not much around competing interests. Aim for 7 mill and hopefully there's 2 out there willing to get close to it. There's no future for the boy here.
12 Nov 2024 19:10:25
Rumours going about we have bid £5.3m for Lennon Miller.
1.) 12 Nov 2024 19:32:44
I think you’ve pressed the wrong numbers Tim by mistake.
There’s no way Celtic have bid £5.3M for a very young Motherwell player whose contract runs out in 2026.
{Ed007's Note - That's what's being bandied about, Buzz.}
2.) 12 Nov 2024 19:40:14
I’ve just read the same report and your typing skills are still good ?
I still don’t believe those figures will be accurate due to the lads contract.
Celtic know they will get him for £3M and add ons at the most.
3.) 12 Nov 2024 19:57:23
Those figures would rule a certain other club out of the running Ed.
I hope Celtic sign him because it’s important to bring the best young Scottish talent to our club.
Especially since not much is coming through our own youth system.
{Ed007's Note - Even at £6 million I think it'll prove to be a bargain in the long run, he's the best young Scottish midfielder since Lewis Ferguson came through and it still irks me we didn't sign him.}
4.) 12 Nov 2024 22:08:40
Evening All
Can't remember which one I posted on (Forum, Podcast or Live Chat) .
I indicated that Celtic "would go all in" to try sign Lennon Miller in January transfer window.
Personally I think his value is at least £5m +
?.
5.) 13 Nov 2024 07:33:04
If he doesn’t get sold in January, his valuation will drop because he will be entering the final year of his contract.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 10:03:54
Lennon Miller should be signed at any cost but can't see him staying in Scotland he also has a bluenose family but sometimes that doesn't matter.
7.) 13 Nov 2024 11:38:26
Think Well want more than Turnbull ehich was about £3:2m and your right Edd eee did miss a trick with Ferguson evn Uncle Barry has voiced his opinion saying we should have as he reckons he's a £20m player now.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 13:04:36
I think 5.3m for the best young midfielder in scotland is a fair price. Motherwell have every right to hold out for that fee. Young Miller should be our priority in January and hopefully we act quick as clubs in england will be hovering as well.
9.) 13 Nov 2024 13:13:01
We paid more for Holm the following season who can't get anywhere near the team than Bologna paid for Lewis. Even more irritating that Ferguson won the Bulgarelli award for best midfielder in Serie A last season.
10.) 13 Nov 2024 18:29:24
We haven’t bid anything yet, no disrespect to anyone but some folk look at articles see a number and think we’ve made a bid, it’s rumoured that that’s what we will look to bid. I don’t like to sound like the guy who has the imaginary contacts but I’ve been in company with several guys inside the parkhead lounges on match days, guys who usually have credible insider knowledge and the talk is it’s pretty much a done deal that he’s coming to us and it’s a record Scottish fee, obviously this indicates the fee rumoured might be indeed true as the record is the 4.4m we paid Hibs for broony, but I haven’t been told an exact figure, just that it’s pretty much a done deal barring any last minute issues. Again, and I’ll repeat, it’s just what I’ve heard and it’s usually a very accurate source who told me Brendan was coming back to us last March which I didn’t believe in the slightest at that time.
In regards to miller and my own opinion, we need to go all out for this lad, I think hatate is looking to go to a better league so miller would be a like for like replacement. Playing and learning from the likes of mcgregor, Engels and mcCowan, Forrest, will only improve his game. We can’t let this one slip like we did with mcGinn.
11.) 14 Nov 2024 13:34:35
If we do sign him and it's a big if, I really hope we let him stay at Motherwell for another season on loan.
Also why is it people also mentioned who a players family support?
The boy played for our youth teams and was in our academy and only moved to Motherwell as his dad didn't see a pathway to the first team.
We have also had a lot of previous and current players who grew up supporting the other team
That kind of thing doesn't matter in Football anymore, even Barry Ferguson was wanting us to sign Lewis.
12.) 14 Nov 2024 15:08:54
Buzz you are dreaming if you think we will get Miller for 3 million.
13.) 14 Nov 2024 15:59:10
North 18
Motherwell need to sell him in January whilst his value is high and not let him enter his final year of his contract.
Clubs might not be willing to pay top dollar for a player with only one year left of his contract.
Without repeating myself.
14.) 14 Nov 2024 19:00:54
I get that with the contract Buzz, however such is his talent I suspect he will have several options which always pushes the price up. IF the rumours are true it appears Celtic are going in heavy and early to seal the deal and avoid a McGinn scenario.
Remember the rumours also indicate even Sevco are interested at around 3 million tops.
15.) 15 Nov 2024 13:21:46
I've read that Motherwell are aiming to receive a club record fee for young Miller of no less than £4M.
This would be an increase on their current record fee of £3.25M for DT back in 2020.
The media love banding about the numbers and it's no surprise this then causes debate amongst supporters.
At the end of the day if BR likes him and thinks he can improve, increase in value and contribute to our continued success along the way, then get him signed.
☘️ ? ☘️.
16.) 18 Nov 2024 14:53:02
That's a fair price. He should stay with Motherwell until the summer though.
17.) 22 Nov 2024 17:36:08
I’d sign him. Good for us good for Scottish football. We certainly need to get a replacement in for the Captain. Whether that’s him or someone else.
02 Sep 2024 19:56:49
ED007 have you heard anything about re development of Main Stand
I read on one of the Celtic sites that after Pedro was confronted by fans asking where all the money was going, he put it out via his newsaper buddies that plans were advancing for the Main stand
Have your contacts told you anything
thaanks.
{Ed007's Note - No I haven't heard anything about it apart from the usual rumours that we are planning something like that or pulling the trigger on the hotel/museum or superstore/ticket office upgrades
1.) 03 Sep 2024 22:55:43
It's time addressed the amount of restricted view seats there are in the stadium.
2.) 04 Sep 2024 07:48:52
Celtic can’t remove a pillar that holds the roof up.
{Ed001's Note - unless they changed the roof for one that doesn't require pillars.}
3.) 04 Sep 2024 08:52:55
Restricted view is not a big issue at Celtic Park.
The worst view is probably the corner of the away end.
Of course it isn’t nice for the vast minority of fans who have restricted views seats.
4.) 04 Sep 2024 10:58:56
Let's be honest. The main stand needs upgrading big time. I may be in the minority here, but I think 60,000 is fine. I would be very happy if most of our available funds were spent on a total renovation, not necessarily an expansion. The stand inside is too small. Better facilities for European nights is a must. More corporate boxes/ hospitality would pay for itself in a few years. For the sake of a couple of million quid you could get rid of the pillars in the north stand. I read somewhere that we needed these because of the cemetery behind? Remember it already overhangs. Celtic 'bought' the air/ space from GCC back when the stadium was being redeveloped. And finally, major upgrades to the concourses are needed. Kiosks etc. I am ready to be corrected on anything. Cheers folks. HH!
5.) 04 Sep 2024 11:57:41
I’m sure I’ve seen pillars in the Main Stand which must be taken down for home games.
6.) 04 Sep 2024 13:09:12
Correct. I've never understood that, either. Our Sky box looks quite lonely up there on it's own. I like my stadia. ☺️.
7.) 04 Sep 2024 16:54:59
Agree with Celticmad, there's no point increasing capacity if the current setup isn't as good as it could be. A revamp of the main stand, get rid of the pillars, upgrade the general facilities and get the stadium to a level where it could host a European Final.
{Ed007's Note - I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure unofficially UEFA use stadiums with at least 70k capacity and the only time they haven't in a long time was during the COVID season, which as we know was a complete freak of nature across football with us, PSG, Juventus and neither of the Spanish Big Two winning their respective leagues.}
8.) 04 Sep 2024 17:10:56
There’s no way Celtic will spend Millions removing pillars, which would involve changing the roof on stands.
They can’t make money on such a move.
That makes it a Zero chance.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 09:56:41
I have to look through a barrier in the east stand to see the goal which in a fairly modern stadium should be the case. These restricted view seats are spread throughout the stadium which is poor.
10.) 05 Sep 2024 09:41:27
I think that's just for CL Finals, Ed. They're playing this year's Europa League Final at San Mames in Bilbao with a 53k capacity. There's a minefield of criteria for retractable roofs and even the number of VIP parking spaces. Load of nonsense really.
{Ed007's Note - ????
30 Jul 2024 11:20:18
Paper talk today is Southampton have offered us Shea Campbell a 6ft 2in defensive midfielder who cost them £15m as part of deal for MOR
Strange part of deal is it is a LOAN
so Southampton would get MOR on the cheap plus we would still have to buy this guy next year for £10m or so
If our Board agree to this they should all be sacked immediately.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 11:46:01
Totally agree Tim. His value isn't even 15 million as that includes add ons and he isn't even getting game time.
MOR wouldn't want to go there and be in relegation fight from game one.
It is concerning that this is the only type of rumour we are getting just now about signings.
I am probably concidered an apologist (which I am not) , but I do think we will get 3 or 4 in but looks like it will be late in the window. I am maybe just a bit more patient.
Is this ideal, no, with league starting in few days and CL on the horizon, but even under Ange we did the same.
How do we change this, I don't know either, because like everyone else, I have no idea what's going on in the background or how our recruitment team work or are tasked.
2.) 30 Jul 2024 11:55:34
That proposal would be crazy to accept and would weaken our team even more with the season starting this weekend and WHY are we a feeder club for Southampton, as I don't get the connection.
3.) 30 Jul 2024 12:16:04
He plated 15 times fir them. ad be hunting them once again the arrogance of the english.
4.) 30 Jul 2024 12:35:13
Stop believing paper talk as fact, Tim.
5.) 30 Jul 2024 12:40:27
The Celtic Board survived the disastrous lock down season and a couple of Directors also survived a show of no faith at the following AGM.
They will definitely be safe with 7 domestic trophies from 9 available since.
Celtic will no doubt struggle badly and probably suffer embarrassing heavy defeats in Europe again.
But that doesn’t seem to concern this Celtic Board.
6.) 30 Jul 2024 15:36:39
I would love for our board to tell Southampton MOR will not be sold to them, regardless of price.
They've had plenty of our players on the cheap, later to be sold on at huge profit.
Besides this, MOR is too good a player for them and too good for any team who's priority will be preventing relegation.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 30 Jul 2024 19:56:02
Everyone needs to stop believing made up stories in the Orc loving MSM.
09 Jul 2024 12:11:03
Apparently Idah will cost us £6m plus add ons
If we want the Sparta Prague keeper they want £8m+
If the keeper story is true it shows once again our Board are scrambling at last minute for a keeper we knew we had to replace MONTHS ago.
Are not our Board wonderful.
1.) 09 Jul 2024 13:27:45
Last minute? I presume you'd rather sign any old keeper as long as its done immediately then, Tim?
2.) 09 Jul 2024 16:11:57
Agree with HT. Just because we knew we needed a keeper doesn't mean we could or should have had a deal done by now. The international window opened a week ago so if we get him in soon we've actually acted pretty quickly on that one.
3.) 09 Jul 2024 17:09:17
When exactly do we need our new goalkeeper, was it when we knew that Joe Hart told manager last Jan / Feb that he was retiring at the end of his contract and wouldn’t be playing next season . Was it Jan/ Feb or start of August . Which is more important, that we sign in July a goalkeeper that our manager wants or in April a goalkeeper that a fan wants.
4.) 09 Jul 2024 17:59:25
Totally agree, I know it’s sometimes not as simple as just making a deal happen and sometimes there’s a bit of back and forth and I’ve no doubt we have a shortlist of targets but the fact a new number 1 goalkeeper isn’t signed a month into the window is a shambles from the club.
The thing is right, you can still negotiate with a club when the window is closed, the transfer then becomes official when the window opens, pretty much the way maeda and hatate joined.
Since Joe hart announced he was retiring we’ve had months to get this sorted but it now seems we’ll end up scrambling just to get a slightly better goalkeeper in than the likes of Bain for the sake of it, it isn’t a coincidence that when big ange was here and in control the deals were done quick.
5.) 09 Jul 2024 22:06:07
If indeed it is Jensen then we have to wait. Sparta had him on loan with an option to buy which wudnt kick in till July 1st I would imagine. They opted to buy maybe with the intention to make instant money. So a lot of negotiation will be necessary.
6.) 10 Jul 2024 07:18:30
Doesn't suit the narrative Rayman. Seems odd when we can stick the boot into the club for countless other things they've actually got wrong.
7.) 10 Jul 2024 10:14:49
There are a lot of things that can make a negotiation take time but some on here complain no matter what ourclub do. As BR said last eek we coul have had 9 in the door by now but we haven't as rhey would not be the right 9. It takes time, like us teams don't want to sell or want more than teams want to pay.
We tell the club not to accept less than 30 million for MOR when teams consider he is worth 20 million but when a club asks 8 million for a player and we value him at 5 million, we get the biscuit tin mentality card out and moan about the board not spending.
Their job, like it is not is to get the best deal for the club, like every other board butbour gt a kicking for carrying out due diligence.
Don't get me wrong, I will be ladies the complaints if they don't make signings but I am prepared to give them time to get it right or would some on here be happy with doing what we did last time and what we are laughing at sevco doing this time, project after project.
You can't have it both ways.
8.) 10 Jul 2024 10:40:28
just the usual desperadoes moaning.
9.) 10 Jul 2024 11:55:56
Not a single supporter should be surprised nothing has happened. In fact, the vast majority were expecting it. That sums the board up. Dithering, Cheapskate cowards.
10.) 10 Jul 2024 20:36:17
Timalloy,
you'd be better off not paying any attention to the media when it comes to them reporting on all the players 'Celtic are in for'

Does anyone know where I can watch game thanks.

Looks not to be available in uk through traditional means but is on Spanish tv moviestar if you have such means. Likely gettable through vip league too.

Timalloy maybe too late but u can watch it live on the skybett app.
02 Jan 2025 19:41:25
ED007 I do not envy you tonight listening to all the mumping and moaning
Yes it was a poor performance from Celtic and Yes it's a sore one to take any defeat from them.
But the League is still OURS to lose, (No Way)
It keeps the Belgian in a job lol
Oh and all this talk of "Clement has worked out how to beat Brendan, " is rubbish
In the cup final and today we just had too many players not at their best, our players will come back stronger.
Also to the gloom merchants, that defeat will HELP Brendan get the players we need to keep moving forward HH.
{Ed007's Note - Come May nobody will give a toss about today's result, Timbo but the performance across the board, from Rodgers team selection & tactics to the players fight/dig on the pitch was completely unacceptable.}
1.) 02 Jan 2025 21:16:26
Your right Edd it was totally unacceptable, we have been playing poorly for months but after last 2 results for us a was hoping we turned a corner but havnt, absolutely no dig. Clement hasn't sussed BR out but ad say he has with McGregor. Hopefully incomings in soon.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 21:23:52
Not hungry enough today. Poor choices in passing and lack of desire.
Reo has gone completely off the boil.
We had no midfield control and I agree, no one to cut open their defence.
Poor performance and we move on and get back to what we do best.
The invincible tag is off their backs, so that's a weight gone.
I think Trusty is better option, he is a better reader of the game but maybe not a bigger threat at corners than Scales.
It's still in our hands and if we get stronger in this window, the treble is their for the taking.
3.) 02 Jan 2025 22:35:11
Clement has worked out CMac but not Rodgers what sort of nonsense is that to come away with?
CMac plays in the position and in the tactics set by BR therefore if he’s worked out how to nullify CMac he’s worked out BRs tactics ergo Clement has BRs number.
BRs failure to have a plan B further exacerbates the issue.
If it had been a one off that they ran is close, it could be called luck. They took us close on the LC and today it could have been worse than 3.
Again BR needs another option.
It’s not necessarily doom and gloom, it’s frustrating to see your rivals depleted and yet we can’t go there and win with a strong squad that’s been rotated to keep everyone fresh.
It’s not moaning to ask a manager on £3m a year to strategise a different approach if things aren’t going well it’s part of the job as a manager of a team that has the ability to wipe the floor with any team in Scotland.
I appreciate all that Rodgers has done in his 2 stints, however, like most competitive men I always want more. Losing to that lot is hard to take particularly when they were in a poor position in terms of form, players fitness and noise around them.
We are 11 points clear, we have a window to try strengthen and we look to recover asap. But that standard of performance is not good enough.
4.) 03 Jan 2025 01:46:34
Sorry can't agree. That's 2 for 2. Draw and defeat. Lol how have we not been found out?
02 Jan 2025 18:30:30
Ach at least some people in the Timalloy clan were happy
The Suit was quick to gloat claiming he put on £500 at odds 14/ 5 to win £1400
I said well done then told him the GHIRLS cobbled up £50 and bet THEM (Grr I will have word later) they won £140 which will help them out in "skint" January
I think he thought I would be in the depths of despair, I AM but not at the defeat, but the ghirls betting on THEM.
1.) 02 Jan 2025 18:46:40
No real celtic fan ever bets against celtic.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 19:31:28
DC if that's a dig at my ghirls OK me perfect
See The Suit and my two ex bears THEY have bet against their mob when they saw opportunity to make cash
I don't bet against my team but I am not going to lecture anyone who does.
3.) 02 Jan 2025 20:20:52
I still made a profit today Tim.
I bet a cross match double on the Celtic game and the Dundee Derby.
At least 3 goals, at least 3 bookings and at least 10 corners in each game
@ 15/ 2.
4.) 02 Jan 2025 20:40:18
Well done Buzz, the ghirls are happy with their illicit gains lol
I really cannot complain, they did what I do, if odds jump out at you pile on.
5.) 02 Jan 2025 21:19:08
Those odds were too big for a home team in a Derby match and it’s easy to see why punters were tempted ?.
6.) 02 Jan 2025 21:49:28
Not a dig at all tim just stating that no real fan bets against their team no matter the odds. People that do aren't real fans.
02 Jan 2025 13:44:21
Guys I told you yesterday I think there will be penalties (plural) which I bet on
I also think Maeda will be booked 5/ 2
Also I have bet an ordering off 5/ 2
See how my crystal did at end of game
Like every other Celtic fan knows
if we turn up WE WIN
But like the cup final sometimes a few of our big players do not turn up
I hope Brendan has them all ready to go in this intimidating atmosphere.
31 Dec 2024 22:35:48
Watching Rikki Fulton on TV
One Sketch Rikki is Bonnie Prince Charlie and he comes in from outside and says "man I'm glad to be in here the woods are hoaching with the English" to which one of the guys asks how did you know they were English, Rikki replies "they were all wearing Rangers strips".
1.) 01 Jan 2025 13:14:41
Worked in the late 80s as a joke when most of their squad were top English players, but not now, as if they could afford an English international!
02 Jan 2025 10:57:27
Mally also it seems we are getting £4.5m+ for Bernabei from International in Brazil
A wee profit (we paid £3.5m) and good bit of business for a player not even in Brendan's thoughts.
03 Dec 2024 12:15:19
Ha ha ED007 Buzz and guys you must admit Bobby has Reeled you all in
I think he got the exact reaction he was fishing for.
{Ed007's Note - If he is fishing then the guy's an even bigger idiot than I gave him credit for, it's just stupid childish made up garbage that's trying to rip the pi$$ out of the forum.}
28 Aug 2024 14:37:21
Also guys IF we sign a couple of players a big IF, will Brendan throw them into a game like this with all the tackles they will throw at our players, also we signed Idah who was supposed to have done pre season with Norwich but reports say he is needing extra training, some of these players coming in will probably be in same boat ie not fully match fit.
Yes Quinn and Mally I posted yesterday I expect the "we tried but ran out of time line also"
16 Aug 2024 12:15:30
@ Derry Tim
MOR and his agent know that he will eventually move to a bigger league and that is why MOR is not making waves, whether in this window or next the bhoynwill get his big move, so enjoy him while we can.
11 Aug 2024 11:31:02
It's good to see Maeda back but where is Palma.
12 Jan 2025 18:12:48

I shall try via my "Magic stick" which shows ALL channels lol.
08 Jan 2025 13:47:48
Mally according to papers Celtic offered Tierney £35k week (he is on £100k just now)
Same story says Taylor wants £25k which I think is fair
Another story saying Jota NOT coming back, I thought this all along as Jota IS a mercenary, hence him going to Saudi, his next club will offer him much much more than Celtic
Also Mally don't be surprised if we get to almost end of January and STILL NO SIGNINGS.
That is how our Board and let's be honest, Brendan work also
They do everything in slow motion at this time of year.
07 Jan 2025 18:43:34
ha ha ED007 and Buzz yes these so called "Easy teams" are never easy for Celtic for your Bodo Glimpt I will raise you
Artmedia Bratislava and Neuchatel Xamax ) GROAN)
06 Jan 2025 14:47:08
Mark the same could be said of KT as well lol.
03 Jan 2025 12:47:31
ED007 look on the positive side he will bring his pal Paddy Roberts with him lol
Then Brendan can have fun playing him and Kuhn and watching the poor defenders trying to identify which is which ha ha.
{Ed007's Note - He even has a bit of Henrik about him from a certain angle...
